The Band: Music from the Big Pink (1968)

[00:00]In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by Rolling Stone magazine. This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to making this podcast. We are far from experts. We promise to do almost no research. All opinions are our own unless you disagree. Please sit back and enjoy. Beck did it better. We are up to album one, zero, zero. It's the 100th album. Funflex Earhorn. I was looking for a Nick Celebration sound, and this is the only one I could find. Wait, no, here we go. Yay, it's 100 albums. Yippee, good for us. 100 albums, I decided that I was going to do the best possible song I could. The best. Okay. Put my mind, put my heart and soul, come up with a brand new something to talk about that's clever and encapsulates just how much this has meant to me to spend all this time, all this time with three guys who I now consider some of my best friends. And then I got. That's so busy. I didn't have time to make that song, so I came up with this piece of shit instead.

[01:02]So let's listen to K-Rob, K-R-O-B. What's up, everybody? Welcome to K-Rob. Listen, I got a message from Beck did it better. It just says, sorry about that. And of course, that's the wrong one. By the way, this one is three minutes. Dude, we could just rerun. What if we just did Taylor Swift again? I guarantee it'll be better than whatever we talk about on this band album. No way. Seriously, would anyone know or say anything if we just ran Taylor back twice? Don't we seem to care about the Prince album? No, we ran. I need to get everybody's like, yeah, whatever. Who cares? Although my sister did text me and say, is Aaron back in his garage? K-Rob, K-R-O-B. We want to give a shout out to Beck did it better. I'm covering 900 albums. You just have to do this four more times and then you're done. Oh, yeah. Oh, God. When I heard his podcast, we had always said. Yes. Won't it be crazy when we get to 100? Wow. But now we're here. And I'm waiting in my head.

[02:03]What could I have done with all that extra time instead? And a hundred albums. Yeah. To me. Yeah. There's just one problem. The show. Still kind of crappy. Only kind of. Yeah. We tried to get. Better, but it's been, you know, avail shows repetitive and it's getting time to stay. I can clearly see what's that? We haven't had a new idea since episode 53 albums.

[03:04]Fun to explore. Be hundred more. It's not coming. I'm pretty sure bass battery just died. Maybe what we need is just a little time. We'll come up with new sound clips and then we'll be just fine. You also have some new bits and they will be funny. But we also said this after episode 53. We've done one episode a week. I think.

[04:00]We've done one episode a week. We've done one episode a week. We've done one episode a week. The show's pretty funny. Yes. In your face. You don't. You don't. You want to hear about the greatest albums of all time. Rob thinks we're funny. But you're just too lazy to look it up online. I didn't say that. I said the show. It's true. To be clear. If you want to hear from guys who chat and then they get off track. My kid said, why is, uh, why is Aaron mad at you for how you treat him on the show? And I said, well, I made the mistake where I treated Aaron. Like I treat the listeners. And she was like, oh yeah, that's bad. shouldn't do that i wasn't mad at you on the show was i welcome well i recorded it just in case really yeah uh listen to it when i jerk it all right so this is a hundred episodes this is a hundred albums of beck did it better and today and i gotta say guys i'm not gonna lie when i looked when we started this podcast yeah when we when we started this podcast i said wow hundred albums is gonna be so special let's look to see which album is gonna be a hundred that we're

[05:04]gonna just be so psyched about doing our 100th episode like it's unincredible that something we started during the pandemic is still going and we've done it and then i saw it was the band music from the big pink and i was like fuck shit this is very bad this is a disaster listen but i i got three guys here to talk about an album that probably is now our favorite album of all time i've got russell in minnesota russell how are you doing rob last week you called on me for rolling going and it caught me in a fog you said you'll show me your weightlifting rack if i laughed at your jokes about dogs i said wait a minute rob you know i'm a tactful man you said that's okay russ but at least don't edit it out if you can so good i've got matt minnes uh mini uh actually north dakota matt how are you doing uh great in no dac we've got no energy after listening to this album to try to be creative so i'm just gonna say thanks for having me rob i love it eddie better style i've got rosie out in california and rosie for our hundredth you know i try to come up with a

[06:04]introduction to throw you off and distract you and make you make you mad a lot actually but here's the thing is that here's the thing is i came up with the most special introduction ever for the hundredth i've been saving this for quite some time you ready for this yeah guys aaron's worried about me because he he thinks i have a cold but i keep telling him i don't have a cold i'm a cuckold i love to watch guys ram my wife aaron california how are you doing it's not a cold aaron it's a cold that joke when i wrote that i got to admit i didn't think my mother-in-law in the next room over uh currently so feel bad about that now rob 10 years ago on a cold dark night yes someone was killed beneath the town hall lights let's talk about the band music from the big pink let's go oh so good intense here listen let's like intense like a camping trip right rob let's i listen i listen to your jokes i listen it's like a circus uh

[07:05]let's listen to the voicemail it's so good dumb shit dumb shit dumb shit dumb shit dumb shit i mean this is really like so good you should just run that under the whole thing a huge congratulations to matt rumor has it that on the podcast as a whole he has made it to the 500th album before the list changes so way to go matt and um can't wait to see how the show pivots and turns when that list

[08:05]changes um because it's pretty much inevitable right guys all right oh my god thank you so much i love listening to you guys and look forward to it every week have a good one you know what i was actually talking with someone who's gone back and started listening to our old albums and they listened to the emergency episode when they released the new list oh and i got a text from this person we'll call him a listener this listener of ours texted me and they said oh matt is legit pissed about this this yeah he was upset and i was like i remember being upset but it was probably just joking and the response was i don't think so i think he's legit pissed and then the next week's episode it was confirmed he was legit pissed that they had redone the list so i'm kind of worried that we need to wrap this this podcast up before they redo it no no now that i've listened to all 500 right like and again thank you for calling it i mean that person

[09:04]sound pretty nervous i don't know i don't know why that always sounds so nervous when they're it's just a phone call thank you for calling it it's but it's like one of those things like is that something you should be congratulated for from i think it's super that much time of your life no but you did it while you're doing other things you know taking a round riding a bike working you know i did i i did stick to russell's rules i listened to every song all every album all the way through no skips no forwards anything and then how many with the with with the change in list how many total albums did you listen to to get to 500 because there were some that i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know if i count there's probably 30 to 40 that got chopped that you would already listen to man i think the thing i'm most impressed by is the fact that you would listen to music that you haven't heard before just consistently i can't do it i need like it's like a it's like a soft bird's nest womb for me to listen to music i've heard a million times i'm like i'm stuck yeah if there wasn't the challenge i mean but you find some great ones we've talked about it last few episodes

[10:01]you find great ones you find stuff you haven't heard before you know we listen to red by willis back we listen to uh red by taylor swift last week i mean 1989 again i'll talk about it again great album i'll go back and listen to it lana del rey these are all albums that i would have never ever ever ever ever listened to if it wasn't for this quest that russell put us on so it was fun um and and i'm going to say this when you look at i just pulled up the old rolling stone list right to see what we would be doing if we were in an alternate dimension where we were doing the old list and i remember listening to this when we listened to the the discs when we listened to the albums the first time do you know what 100 is on the old list in the wee small hours by frank sinatra oh that is a fun album but that album can only be listened to you can only listen to that album if it is completely silent in your house that album is actually very quiet you can only look where's that one now it's got to still be on there there's got to be still some sinatra on there right i i gotta say like the freewheeling bob

[11:01]dylan's at 97 hours elvis costello i mean we would have hit a creedens clearwater revival cd already here i mean now i'm kind of upset now now you guys know that was bringing up going through like the whole list and you know i remember telling people that i knew that i was doing this quest and i actually got an email from someone a while back saying how is the quest going they're like you surely must be done at this point because i had plowed through like 150 albums in like two months but i never told this person that well actually now i've kind of shifted and i'm doing a part of a podcast about it because i don't want them to know about the this person emailed me and i was like what am i supposed to do am i supposed to say like should i just make it up and lie and say i'm through it or like i can't say i'm just doing the band the big pink and what what am i supposed to do did you say it's 2022 don't email me like hit me up for you via any other channel like don't say you did it just say you did it who cares like you put in so much more time than you would have yeah just say yeah i did it what are your guys thoughts

[12:00]about little white lies are you do little white lies hurt anyone or is that your style like if you're gonna lie about something that doesn't hurt anyone is it all good or not i know matt's thoughts but he's frozen right now oh no there he is uh i'm just i'm just reading on the nba draft trying to catch up oh you're still rolling going oh god more nba talk um russell tell telling a white like in that situation it's the perfect white lie yes i finished the list because if you said no you're gonna look like a loser and they're gonna have to write back like oh sorry like what are they gonna write back it's awkward whereas if you say yeah they finished it why lie about it though i mean like really like why lie because i want them to find out about the podcast that makes sense because i'm very i'm very dedicated i put way more time into this than i did the thing but if i just say no i quit the quest that makes me like a quitter but i haven't quit it i've just put more emphasis into something even bigger maybe you say you've slowed it down and you're still going through the list yeah that that would be that would make sense right then that's not a lie then you're not lying yeah slowed it down

[13:02]you're still going through the list what do you think is a little white lie okay sometimes i mean i want to say yeah i'm still going through the list i'm still going through the list i'm still but i know matt is going to tell me that the truth never hurt anybody so i think that a little white lie is not it's i think it's actually never okay now have i told them sure will i continue to to tell them yes but will i think about matt anytime i tell them and know that he would say to me the truth never hurt anybody also yes yeah and i think telling little white lies is fine you know and that's like aaron i think you know it's great having you on the show and you're doing a great job and i appreciate it and i think and it's fine you know or you say things like oh this sorry about that like you know it's a white lie it's it's normally not so hot you know oh how did that get in the popcorn i think little white lies like that are fine and then when i say little white i mean little and white little little at the top but like bigger at the bottom just a little a lot of people are saying yeah my nickname in high school is giza no that popcorn box is a hot

[14:01]box that's a hot box that was last week russell last week we can't do it we we always carry over things from week to week it's all good yeah that's our memories are that good we're a bunch of millennial aging millennials wait no matt really what are we also our callers are millennials what are we do you think do you think millennials will still have like the same stigma associated with them when they're like 75 years old like probably yeah sure yeah yeah they're 75 and they're like i quit retirement i'm gonna do something else i don't really feel like retiring right now it's like what are you talking about i'm an influencer as a 75 year old listen rolling going rosie how is it going with you rolling going yeah it's going great with me um as usual i'm uh listening to some music from time to time and i something

[15:01]happened earlier in the episode i've already forgotten what it was that was a great episode guys good job parents listening to music that's his rolling going time to shut it down yeah we're all listening to music it's like we're all listening to music it's like we're all listening to music it does seem to be the summer of house music uh given uh the influences in drake's new album and then uh i think beyonce's latest single leaked and that's very house influenced so i've been uh trying to trying to track uh like what is house music it seemed to have started in chicago it's definitely like a uh like a black queer art form um so obviously it's not for me but i've been trying to understand what was house music where did it come from um so i i uh i've actually been enjoying the new drake album um and i've been trying to understand what was house music where uh and then i've been trying to listen to like trying to figure out dig into house music so frankie knuckles seems to be one of the godfathers of house he was a dj um who has uh recently passed so i listened to frankie knuckles uh recently did you ever hear the album when he went over and performed in britain rob what was his what did he what was his big hit and he had a show

[16:02]where actually you would come in right and you would sit there and frankie knuckles would say hey guys guess what you're gonna get and they'd say what he goes give you a taste of me but i do highly recommend i do highly recommend to our listeners like uh he did he did some live sets at the boiler room uh which was a movie i watched with russell way back in the day great but that's not related uh i do highly recommend go out and find some frankie knuckles mixes it's gonna make you want to move your ass and there's nothing wrong with that so get out there and dance it up enjoy the summer listen to some house music i loved house music and one of my favorite parts is in the beginning of the episode you never knew what the disease was but by the end house music he figured he was like the shit's lupus it's like oh you actually can get that from a peloton bike seat you know what i mean is it lupus every episode every episode is lupus or you get something from a peloton bike seat i like i like those 90s comedies better when it was when they would have a party a house party house party yeah but i'm saying it's the summer of

[17:05]house music it's coming back it's important that people who love music do their research on this stuff it's an important art form i'm just starting to like you know dive in myself other than erin other than drake like what if you were gonna say like what's the most well-known house music song ever like what what would what's the biggest hit of a house music song man that's the thing is i don't know i'm not sure like i think that drake is you knew that was coming you knew it's coming this song is about him living in a house that's blue i swear i swear i thought when we hit 100 it's all brand new to me but i know that it it reaches the the general consciousness i know that i mean you know like i was i was on the i was on the peloton bike i hope i didn't get an std from it but i heard you can i i heard la bouche do uh you know like and i don't know if that's house music or not that's the thing is like all this dance music has its own sub genres and sub sub

[18:02]sub genres and i don't know all of them but it's fun to kind of start exploring new stuff it's the reason we talked about matt went through this entire list you can never you can never run out of new music new genres to figure out so for me i've been trying to figure out some new dance music genres this summer because it's summertime move your body so what is what what did you what do your family think when they walk into the room and you're just sitting there listening to house music like having coffee it's just like well i mean oh he's doing i mean fentanyl now yeah my my lady is not a drake fan so definitely like multiple times she's been like are you listening to the new the new drake again i'm like yeah like let's give it a chance like it might be fine but uh she's skeptical of drake so you know but but i think drake is kind of trying to pop pop a size mainstream a size some of the stuff that's been going on in the undercurrent for for many years which he did so then which he did on the album we listened to right like he was like right hey check out these waves right he's riding these waves so yeah i mean sometimes like and then and

[19:05]then again we live in a small house so like if i put on some house music late at night i'm like oh you know i gotta like keep it down to the volume kind of low which is maybe the opposite of what you should be doing with dance music but you know that's where i'm at so yeah like like i got the dance music on and i'm like reading the article in the new york or whatever but it's uh it's fine my lover won't you be my lover you know are you listening to drake out there small house music you took my joke by the way small house music that's what i'm doing that's where i'm at house music it all smells like halibut in here it's crazy i have found that house music is wonderful for working out too or just doing i mean just doing anything or you just need a little bit of energy i got a question i mean like is arcade fire house music no why not arcade fire is it's a little depressing okay i mean they're they get a little bit their their album their first album

[20:03]might be close it's got a little electronica to it you know things like that but it's about the minute and it's often not performed by live musicians it's often done by djs spinning records remixing things putting pieces together or like matt said it might be fully electronic like i got you know i think i don't know if we've talked about it but i got totally into house music recently and i again what is the exact definition of house but i consider blaster jacks have you heard any blaster jacks no i'm gonna write that down yeah because this guy the closer for the do we talk about this i feel like we talk about this the closer from the mets comes in meet the mess the song by blaster jacks and it's got these horns playing and then all of a sudden the beat comes in it is the greatest entrance music for a closer since wild thing came in in 1989 for the cleveland indians what would be your guys closer music we've never we've i don't know if we've ever talked about baseball entrance music before

[21:01]have we ever talked about closer music i don't know i have no idea what my clothes i gotta think of this name so then rob you gotta think it's something like this right trevor hoffman is it already that's a trevor hoffman he's he's got here's my here's my closer music you're ready for this this now this closer music this would be hot shit i come out of the olympic theme it'd be so good i'm walking out slowly waving to the crowd you'd get fired up for this music it sounds so good i get it my closer music would be maggot brain by funkadelic where george clinton gets on the mic and he says mother earth is pregnant for the third time and then he said some other stuff and then eddie hazel comes in with some fucking mind melting guitars in the last 10 minutes and everybody's out there like is this guy done warming up yet or what the fuck it's so good i love it maggot brain russell what would

[22:04]be your walkout music i can't answer that i'm busy making a note about the closing joke being about mother earth being pregnant for the third time good point what if you're at walkout music was just jingle bells you guys ever think about that like you just every time you walk out of jingle bells jingle bells i it's great i mean another sub genre of like entrance music is i don't know if you guys have gotten into or seen like these college football stadiums where like there's nothing but the college footballs that you know around like virginia tech has got like this awesome entrance music and it's like this great greatest scariest utmost awesome thing ever the whole crowd jumping and everything like that so i don't know i get into that stuff just because i think it's enter sandman right isn't is it enter sandman is that what it is sandman but but the way they do it is the atmosphere is great for that you're right matt did you hear the uh in the nhl playoffs they were all singing up in uh what colorado what for the lord stanley

[23:03]cup no they were all singing hockey on this podcast they were all singing blink 182 all the small things together as a crowd and it look it up it gives you chills listening to it like crowd great like i think american sports missed the boat with that like you see how fun it is with soccer and everything it's you need to be singing as a crowd it's a blast and not fucking that neil diamond song over and over that fucking song don't sing that song anymore if i were in an arena and the entire crowd were singing all the small things i i mean just i would like tears like that's amazing like a whole crowd just singing like until they put your until they put your face until they put your face up on the jumbotron and then you have like an introspective moment and well right yeah that's me that would be embarrassed for all this are you saying for all the small things russell things anywhere we i told you last week it was too personal for me all the small things at the tip it's bigger toward the base uh rolling going matt how's it going with you uh good good uh up in north dakota still it's been a week wow i know we and we talk about this

[24:08]every time i come up here but it surprises me every time i come up here like i am just not in drinking shape oh yeah and i just i and now you know we've talked about this a little bit too but all of the uh trulies what what kind of they're not beers right like they're commonly known as hard mountain dues hard about like that is completely just in case i run out of booze you can see i got one right here oh jesus christ very nice very nice but like i still am i the jackass because i still cannot get comfortable with it i still cannot get comfortable with it i still cannot get comfortable drinking a truly or a seltzer of any kind oh i love it i think they're delicious they're so good i think you just got to get over it they they're they're perfect they're less filling than like a and even a light beer it's it's much easier to have a few guys get a little buzz off of them

[25:00]like just like a beer they sneak up on you actually a little bit so i don't know so i gotta get back into drinking shape apparently allegedly but like every year i fight it and then i go home and it's like i just can't wait to get back into drinking shape and then i go home my liver breaks so i i had six drinks last night i went out with a friend i was hurting all day today like six drinks in like the course of like four hours it was like nothing drinks oh it was because i woke up this morning i was like what's my deal and i was like oh yeah that's right i'm old i mean that's that's the other part right like i i like craft beer love craft beer you can't have six craft beers right you can have 19 000 coors lights that you can't you can't have six of the seltzers the white claws the trulies the white claws the trulies the white claws the hard mountain dews you can do all those and they won't they won't they're not gonna they're not gonna keep put you down like the beer will i feel like i'm in some sort of weird soviet propaganda thing where they keep slipping in hard mountain dew and i'm like rob just in case too many of the big pink songs i do have a hard mountain dew watermelon too here just in case oh no

[26:05]mountain dew's like guys we sold one and they're all going around high-fiving each other down to the mountain i actually think in a text from someone asking me where i purchased the hard mountain dew what's the hard mountain dew i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know one of our listeners one of the dumb shit listeners wanted to know where they could get the hard mountain dew did you guys know that do we know that somebody texted you no why would we know that one of your guys friends too if if if we know that then things are yeah things have gone downhill in terms of aaron you sly dog of course texting about where to get so matt like do you have any desire to ramp back up when you get up there are you like oh i'm gonna try to go after it for a day or you just know you're it's gonna put you down it's gonna be hurt too much if you if you go too oh i mean i god i yeah no i i like staying up and hanging out with everybody right like there's a there's a good party scene up here and it's it's fun like because i just don't do that at home right like it would be like if we

[27:03]all lived on the same block right i mean we we would have saturday nights manuel's dream everybody lives in the same block it's true it'd be great you know but like it's a small enough lake and everybody's close enough where it's just fun to hang out and it's just fun to hang out and it's just fun to hang out and it's just fun to hang out and like the kids are sleeping all that russell i was gonna say no i was gonna say russell's nightmare just to get through the episode with you guys and this is virtual if russell was at that lake he would be going to the gym non-stop to get away from all the neighbors because they're gathered in front of his place that'd be a brick shithouse but like it's an act it's an active act i mean for me it's actively trying to figure out how not to like drink until like at least two or three at least have like one beer right because i mean they're just hammering them you can't drink all day if you don't i didn't realize you're talking about like two or three in the afternoon that's what you're yes oh my god i mean like not during the week but on the weekend like friday saturday does that change for you guys as your as your kids get older though like so rob's kids are a

[28:01]little bit older rob when you had to deal with little kids all the time did that change the the amount you could drink because you're like if i've got to get up with a younger kid absolutely no absolutely there is there is nothing worse in this world no we've talked about it a lot about this than having like a two-year-old and being hung over yeah and you have to get up at like 6 30 or sick and rosie's case 4 30 or 5 you know you're hung over there is nothing worse than that it makes you it makes you drink way less because it's like you just it's they're non-stop and if anything they crank it up they can identify your weaknesses they're like lions they pick out the weakest of the pack and that's where they wake up to go like the weakest okay now i'm gonna now i'm gonna ride on your back for three hours and you're gonna try not to throw up disgusting yeah but aaron are your is your son old like when is he gonna read like well aaron i think has enough drinks you you still partake but like are you like sure yeah when your son gets older do you feel like that can change well i can have another drink tonight because i don't

[29:00]have to worry about getting up at 4 a.m or whenever your son gets i don't know he fucking woke up at 4 45 this morning i don't know he did go back to sleep but i don't know i mean i'm to reverse the locks i never know when he's gonna wake he woke up at 5 yesterday and 4 45 this morning i don't know uh but he didn't you know he went to happy having no air to my throne knowing i don't have to get up at 4 45 in the morning oh i mean it's funny he went back to sleep until 6 30 but i had to sleep on the floor in his bedroom from 4 45 to 6 30 like it's can i tell you can i tell you a nasty little secret today aaron yeah for the past three days i slept until 11 a.m every day i can't imagine oh my god aaron's got the biggest boner but rob your your daughters have gotten a little bit older does did you have did your drinking habits change as your kids got older did it not impact anything i don't know i i honestly i'm not a big like go out and get a ton of drinks guys i mean but you just it's everything changes like there's there's no aspect of your life that is the same now i did get in trouble one time i came home hammered well i probably shouldn't i'm gonna edit this out anyways but

[30:03]i did come home hammered and i held the baby and jenny was not pleased about that wait that's my bad huh well she didn't think so the baby no it was that cool thing that i think every relationship is about you know i'm a kid which is where you almost get divorced with like three months after the baby's born you're like oh i think we're gonna get divorced this did not last very long like yeah thank god she's a doctor i get all this money don't dox me russell i know what you and your uncle are trying to do yes that's what i think russell oh yes i'd love to divorce my wife and get so much money how does that work do i just say give me some money i think so yeah wait that would work i mean i don't know what it's probably get alimony yeah yeah then i can go back to my room with my giant tv and especially if you get fired from your job for the podcast you have no income that'll definitely no who's gonna pay the pod bean hosting fees so we got all these episodes we gotta put on somebody's gotta pay this i'm not paid for shit for this i'm telling you that right now okay just let everybody know we are starting a collection for beck did it better

[31:01]somehow this has led to rob getting fired in this conversation russ rolling going how's it going with you i think i have an idea how they're going but let me know what do you think uh rolling going i i had two ways i could go i'm gonna go the first one if it doesn't go well we'll go the second way but i got invited to a dinner i was going out with a few of my buddies the other night and um one of them was in town uh doesn't have any kids but was in town so has no kid we were talking about kids doesn't have kids but the other one does have kids and so he we had talked about going out and getting a drink but then he eventually invited us over to his house for like a dinner or drinks that type of thing or whatever and immediately my initial thought was like fucking a he's got three kids like as like i don't have kids i like i don't want my night out to be like over at someone's house hanging out with their kids so i'm curious like what are you guys thoughts about like happy hours going out with friends and that being i'm inviting people over to either you're hanging out with other people's kids or people are hanging out with your kids and it's different if you've got kids and you're bringing

[32:02]them over baron's got kids and their kids are hanging out it's different but like when you have a night out do you want to go to someone's house and spend time with their kids can i tell to happy hour with me because sometimes that's just the way it was i've got like a 10 year old and eight year old and they've got ipads with the headphones on and they're coming to the bar with me and they're going to sit with me at half hour and you know what i thought about what the other people thought what jack shit i didn't care what they said because i am going out to the bar it does not matter what people you're going out to the bar you're not inviting them to your house i i but a lot of parents a lot of parents do hope that someone will come hang out at their house because kids are a fucking nightmare outside of their own house and outside of their own home field advantage is nice russell can i russell can i tell you a story of why you want to have people come over with the kids instead of having to go out you have to get a sitter love to hear amelia babysat last saturday from 10 a.m to 2 a.m and then they got her an

[33:00]uber home do you know how much money she made over that time frame way more than we've ever made in this podcast i know that four hundred dollars she got paid four hundred dollars cash it was it was it was so much money that jenny and i were both like what should we be babysitting london for a concert with that kind of cash was enough where we have literally opened up like a kid's bank account debit card because we don't know what else it's more cash than i can take out of the atm like in a day is what she made in a day with cash it's humiliating i'm like i should be babysitting that's russell it just pictures just picture going out hold on i gotta rob rob rob tomorrow tomorrow you can go to the bar and you're going to be babysitting some random apartment no i wouldn't do it and yeah from 10 o'clock till 2 a.m i'm going to give you four hundred dollars would you do it absolutely yeah that's exactly it your time is now where that's exactly what a 13 year old or however old your daughter should be doing and that's exactly how much she should probably get paid for and it's actually 16 hours or whatever

[34:04]it is for a day 400 bucks but what she learned actually for me was an interesting lesson about taxation and it was kind of a she she's actually kind of a she's she's pretty special republican now because she realizes that the daddy tax is way way way too high i'm the tax man i didn't think of 50 i didn't think a 50 cut was that big a deal i thought it was nice but but one thing you mentioned rob is like you have to go through getting a babysitter you guys are you're married you're you have two parents there's co-parenting or whatever you want to call that you know just parenting maybe parenting but like in theory if you have to leave your kids you have a spouse where you could go out with your friends for a night if you wanted to yeah so when you say like when you if you if i were to be there and you were to say why don't you come over instead any of the three of you have an option to say like well maybe it's easier if i just go out with russ and this other buddy as opposed to bringing them what's what's your guys thought like do you realize when you invite people over to your house that they don't want to hang out

[35:03]with your kids do you guys get this or not do you understand it or are you so far behind because your kids are too old you don't even get it leading the witness leading the witness objection matt has a thought in the no i was gonna say how far in advance you said you know the options are somebody else stays at home with the kid and they go how far in advance do you make these plans are you calling them up like on saturday afternoon saying hey so-and-so's in town let's go out tonight where it's like you give them like a five-hour lead time or is it like a couple weeks okay well then they should probably be able to plan appropriately right like if it's like a day or two you know like lead time you know i'm stuck and so you know hey it'd be great to see you guys come on over if you want and then you don't have to go over might be a dick move not to go over for like an hour or so just to hang out but like you know plus russell's just over there playing with legos drinking wine doing the errand well also yeah when you so i mean i don't know for us it's pretty like the the times

[36:04]where we're chatting with friends like we ask them like well do you want to come over from three to six and hang out with wallace or do you want to come over at 7 30 after he's gone to bed like you know our thing is like you know yes if you want to see wallace because you haven't seen him for a year like you're going to be playing legos on the floor but if the other thing russell yeah come over when he's gone to bed then we'll hang out after he's gone to bed and that's why parents like people have their at their place because you put your kid to bed and then hang out and then you don't have to hang out with the kid either russell i mean like i'm pretty good at going over to friend's house and just put up the like okay yeah you know have fun over there like you just be a dick to the kid they'll get it they'll be fine i think kids are like cats though they know who doesn't like kids they know i don't think i can i don't think i can do that though because when you're an uncle you have this like innate but that's just part of you when you're around a kid for just a little bit you have to like engage with them you have to try to be nice you have to act like everything they're

[37:00]doing is super interesting the kid comes over an eastern nephew you're you're contractually obligated somebody else some random dude from high school or college their kids you're not contractually obligated you're fine just push them off to the corner i'm gonna write this down you don't in the corner i like the idea they come up they're like oh shit what was it no i had a good idea of what bugs russell oh shit i'll tell you what bugs russell oh i know what it was i was it was this oh russell let me tell you about my day at work blah blah blah blah russell's like i hate these kids it's worse here's my other question though like what would you rather do with your friends would you rather like if if you had the choice of hey we can go out to a bar and get a drink or two go each our separate ways there is no choice No, no, no. You're not listening. If you have a choice, let's say you have a night out. You have a night out. Your night is, you can go out. Your choice is you can come to my house for a night, or we can just go to a bar and get a drink and then go our separate ways. So that's your choice, though.

[38:01]You're just not listening at all to the question, Matt. I am. You're talking about your choice. It's hard to tell what Russell wants you to say, though. It's hard to see it. I would like to hang out with my friend as much as I can. At my house is what you're saying. No, at who's ever, or wherever. Wherever they are. I would rather hang out with their, if it's at the bar. Great. If I have a choice, yeah. Go to the bar. Sit down there. Watch some sports or something. But what is the choice? It sounds like your buddy didn't have a choice. I'm shifting completely. My question is, would you rather go to the bar with friends or would you rather go to a house with friends? Oh, in general? Yeah, just in general. Where would you rather be? At someone's house or at the bar? I think a bar. I think you're trapped at a house. I feel trapped when I'm at somebody's house. So that's what I was saying. Part of it is like, when you get, like, if someone has a choice and they say, come over to my house, it's like, I don't want to be, like, imposing. I just want to, I would rather go to a third party place where we can come and go

[39:01]as we want, right? So don't go to their house, then. I don't want to go out of here. How's it going with you? Wait, I did mine already. I didn't mind about the house music. Matt, have we done you? My second rolling goal was about the NBA draft. Is it time for the ratings? Yeah, we need a new draft system. So this is like a replay of that. Who was the band with the Lou Reed guy? Velvet Underground. Yeah, that's where we're at. This is, so my rolling goal is, the other day I invited Russell over to my house. So that was, that was on me. But you notice, Rob, I mean, this, I'm a player. I'm not a player. I just crush a lot when it comes to invites like this. When I was in New York, Rob was like, well, you could come out to Roosevelt Island. I'm like, ah. Ah, I'd rather go see the rest of New York. Cause I don't, I don't want to go to Rob's house. I'd rather go see the rest of the city. You know what I'm saying? Well, you're a fool. If you think you would have come in the apartment, cause we would have gone straight up to the roof. Nobody in New York visits each other in their apartments. You have tiny apartments that are filthy.

[40:00]Nobody wants to see that with just a giant 61 inch TV that costs a thousand dollars a long time ago. So here's the deal. I put on this shirt today, special for you guys. So this is my fancy fun bowling shirt. It kind of gives you the vibe of like, Hey, that uncle, you don't see very much is in town and he wants to hang out with you type things. Like it's, it's kind of a fun uncle shirt vibe. Somebody at my work said, Hey, where did you get that shirt? I want the link to the website so I can get one. Is this the shirt you're wearing now? Yeah. And I was kind of like, by the way, if I remind you, this is the shirt I wore in Vegas. Speaking of crushing a lot, this was the shirt that people came up and talked to me all the time. They were so impressed by the shirt. Dance floor magnet. It's crazy. You want 45 to 46 year old women to come to your house and talk to you. This is the shirt to wear. The thing is, is that this guy at work wants to buy the shirt. And I'm kind of like, you can't sell it. It's my shirt. It's kind of, and I don't want to bring this up again. It's kind of stolen valor with my shirt.

[41:00]Don't you think like wearing the same shirt when I'm known as the teacher with the crazy shirt, it's your dress, Hawaii. Yeah. So now he wants to do it. And not only that, guess what the worst part of the story was. What's that? That website that I bought this shirt from, I looked it up and then had to email it to him. this is what i had to email to a co-worker in a professional setting oh yes thank you for the email i got the shirt at www.harddaddy.com the website was called harddaddy.com so i had to say yes i got it from harddaddy.com and then i wrote like sorry rob it's a great shirt and then guess what end of the school year i told you guys we had the open bar thing the headmaster was wearing a shirt like mine oh no it was stolen valor everybody this school is trying to dress like me can you imagine a more insane thing than anyone wanting to be like me like what are they thinking it's terrible and i almost went up to the guy and was like hey what the fuck dude like this is kind of my thing your style yeah if they were like oh i've got into powerlifting too i'd be like what you can't do that guys i don't know do you i think your wife

[42:03]did it just fine and she bypassed you right nobody confuses me for my wife i'll tell you that right now so but isn't she a legit like national champion yes i guess you're right listen this episode by the way just real quick sponsored by harddaddies2.com okay it's a little bit different uh but go check it out okay i think you'll find that these i have to read the copy here hard daddies two are two hard daddies that doesn't even really make sense i mean that doesn't even a duo that actually reminds me there was i think two hard daddies is a different different thing all together i feel like i've done that in college nobody's favorite there used to be an energy bar sold at uh starbucks in san francisco called two moms in the raw two moms in the what in the raw raw yeah oh wow two moms but anyway uh hey is this a music podcast let's talk about

[43:00]some music well according to you this isn't music this is trash is what you've been saying us all week aaron the link is purple moms in the raw i just said i had so listen i've got some i might i mean now i'm fine but earlier today i was going to blow a gasket about this album they the band got off tour with dylan as his background band called the hawks and in fact the cover of this album is actually painted by bob dylan so this they had been writing this music while on tour and it turned out that a couple of them got a house together in west saugerties new york and you guys want to guess what color that house was pink okay and you want to guess how that house wasn't like aaron's it was big so this is why it's called from the big pink it's actually from the house they lived in uh which i don't know what would you like what would you name something you did when you were younger in a house that you shared with your friends like oh this is the one that we spilled a keg like two months in and it smelled for nine years uh this album was actually so this album is called annoying house with young children that i didn't

[44:02]want to be invited to i don't know sometimes it's hard to tell how you feel about a subject uh they had to talk drummer and singer levon helm into coming off working the oil fields to this album was every song on this album is recorded live no overdubs which is why sometimes you hear the breaking of the voice and the certain instrumentation that you do um but it kind of gives it an interesting feel and really this album blew up because the band performed at woodstock and they got a lot of play from the song the weight being included in easy rider to the point where pink floyd says that after sergeant pepper this is the number two inspirational album for pink floyd in general and really a lot of people give the band credit for starting what we talked into williams as the americana movement movement even though they are canadian okay so a lot like a band i know called rush okay which we're not going to get into and um so let's get into music from the big is it just from the big pink am i saying the name wrong what is the album music

[45:03]from the big pink music from the big pink this came out in 68 first song tears of rage one of the three written by dylan on the album kind of a new orleans style gospel i would say this is one of the worst opening songs we've ever heard take away radio ahead i mean it's always the same with these guys like this band is great they're so tight these voices just like like ah like if you got a great song like get a great singer to sing it so slow it's slow i mean yeah i don't love the slow tempos but yeah i mean for me it is like these guys are i think they're great musicians they're just not great singers and good songwriters too but it's just like it's just like it's just like it's just i want to hear like a great voice sing these songs i cannot believe how much play this album gets until i watched today i watched that uh martin scorsese documentary that man's brought up before the last waltz when you see these guys play on the last waltz it sounds fucking fantastic they

[46:05]sound so good they are it's music that you could just listen to all day and then you come in and listen to like this to kingdom come i mean listen to this thing i i mean i you know who i hear here though is some grateful dead type stuff i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i mean isn't that kind of how it sounds like it sounds like this is just a bootleg album from somewhere all right i thought it sounded like the beatles i kind of like out of tune piano kind of thing right it was always the thing when people were way into the grateful dead and they'd be like oh dude i had so many friends in high school who were big into the grateful dead they'd be like bro you gotta listen to the grateful dead and so we'd sit there and listen to like a 45 minute jam where it all sounded like that and i was like what i don't i don't get any of this like i so that that was robbie robertson was on the lead vocals there and i was reading that richard manuals the other lead vocal vocalist and then levon helm the drummer was another one so they

[47:01]have numerous lead vocalists for the band is that right yeah yeah you can hear them all on one of the songs they all three are singing eric do you think they're good singers like i know they get credit for like having these harmonies that are good or what are your thoughts on these guys as singers i mean i don't like their voices but i'm just one person with one opinion but they're not they're not the voices that i want to hear sing sing songs here we have in a station which richard richard manuel said this is his george harrison song because of how the lyrics go this might be the worst opening three tracks on about we've listened to so far right like is there anything about this so far that just like grabs you by the the guts and says oh i need more of this i like the piano okay i'm not saying there's not really cool i think there's really cool things on this honestly i'm not saying there's not really cool things on this honestly i'm not saying there's not really cool things on this honestly but you're just gonna bring up the tuba lately we know where you're gonna talk about the tuba again later in the album i'm gonna talk about the organ

[48:02]it's but the thing i mean i don't know it's a it's that's the thing is that when you watch that documentary live they sound so good there's just something about the recording of this you guys know i'm a i'm a production snob but it's it drives me crazy i just i was walking around today town listening to this in the headphones and i just i constantly would check to see how many songs were left caledonia missions this song is a little bit more fast paced which i enjoy it's kind of a strange song but i kind of like this one it's unique what else have we listened to so far that's anything like this i think the other band album that we listened to i don't remember us savaging the other band the other one must have had a little little more tempo or the other one was much was much more consistent the brown album the band by the band i hear so much by the band the band great grateful dead in there don't ever forget that don't ever forget that was bad company the song bad company performed by the band bad company on

[49:04]the album right bad company next we have the song that basically is the reason the album is here the weight a beautiful song it's so good i mean this might be in the top 20 of the songs we've heard so far like this is a great fucking song matt what do you think of the band you're you're a big bob dylan guy they're backing band for him he wrote three of these songs what do you think i think they're a live band that has albums and now we're judging them off of a recording when they're just a live band sure so that's a great point i mean you have pink floyd saying they're one of the most influential people i mean it's hard to argue but then just think it's kind of like uh patty smith and things like that where they're they got to put out albums they got to sell they got to try to get on the radio things i guess i guess but i mean they're just uh if you

[50:01]watch the last waltz i mean they are a live band do you think they're a live band they're a live band do you think if you were around in 1968 this music would be revolutionary that it's not like i don't know because i mean you've got a lot of albums from the late 60s that are way like more advanced yeah but you've got a canadian group that toured with bob dylan who's trying to do southern rock right and so i mean like they're kind of all over the place but at the same time they're hitting such a wide swath of the music world in 1968 and they're playing you know so i mean you can see why they're uh touted or why they're so well known i guess more than anything whereas you know the grateful dead kind of had a scene i mean these guys don't really have a scene i don't think it's true if that makes sense and so you know they're out there touring but it's not like they're uh you know the identity of some cultural movement or anything like that so one thing i was reading is that the the rock band nazareth actually took their name from this song rob isn't

[51:01]nazareth one of the the inspirations for one of our yeah tonight yeah of course well i mean joni mitchell's the nazareth absolutely it's this this flight tonight one of the greatest about your flight tonight tonight so i wanted to say i i was kind of curious about the weight because there's two famous there's two famous covers of this song probably one of them one of the favorite that i pulled is this aretha franklin cover of the i think this one actually made it higher on the charts it's a jam it's crazy the band version is a fantastic song but if you listen to this one it's like a little quicker isn't it it's a little got a little more energy too long stretch in the late 60s early 70s where she would just take someone else's song she's like oh you you made a nice song now let me just make your song again and completely destroy what you did right she would just end people's whole careers that way what if she started a podcast

[52:03]while she was i don't know right yeah that's exactly what it is but if she started a back better podcast it would be way better than what we can do yeah no shit she's a wraith of franklin all right next up all we can talk this is actually if you listen this is all three singers singing at one time here robertson levon helm manuel annual i think this is where they actually do pretty well yes locally like i think this is like another sweet spot for singing it because there's certain parts of all these songs where you get these harmonies and these guys singing together and you can just tell they're a well-oiled machine it sounds like they're sounds good and even like the panning on the song you have one person singing in one ear one in another it's great uh next up we have a long black veil which of course is probably most famous by johnny cash but oh no no no it's most famous because aaron had one of the greatest ideas

[53:02]for a book ever aaron what is your idea i wanted to write a whole book on this uh on this story about the guy who what's the story framed well so the this man you know witnesses a murder uh and love this thing in there charged with murder and it turns out that the night of the murder he was with his best friend's wife and he goes to his grave he goes all the way to the hangman's noose because he won't say where he was it's a great story because he wants to preserve his his friend and his friend's wife's Russell reputation what would you do would you go to the grave or would you admit you were with your best friend's wife if i was any kind of oh i'd be telling everybody immediately i'd be like hulk hogan i'd be putting out the video and i'd be putting out that film see russell that's why you want to go to people's houses because then you could have a hulk hogan type situation perfect opportunity for a long black veil moment huh hey brother i'm gonna tell the judge that i was definitely fucking your wife right now i'm so

[54:01]full of sushi black hey i've got this idea for hey sharks i've got this idea for a restaurant it's pasta but that right aaron is this writer of yours not finished the pasta media out the blog yet i don't think so no i've been checking when you you i know i don't know this was coming i know i don't think it ever came i've been following because i still follow colette around on twitter but i don't think she's written the uh definitive uh oral history of hulk hogan's pasta menu but if it happens i can be sure i will talk about it on this podcast you better hurry up or else somebody else is definitely gonna write all right we're gonna take a pause matt's gonna matt's gonna switch computers here what no he's putting up a finger like he's got it was great watching russell read he's got he's got he's been yeah yeah because he's got okay matt one word a movie this means have one more drink russell one more drink that's it at least one of rosie um i got where does the the female the the wife and the side piece where does she fit into your

[55:04]story because i mean like how can she let that dude die that's my question that's a good question that's a very good i hadn't thought about that i mean it's just a story of of the song right they all uh and yeah she doesn't speak up either listen yeah when you i guess because they have it like they've got a they've got a bond where the guy who's accused of the crime says no look like here's the deal like we're not gonna let this on maybe they got kids maybe they got a high standing in the community and he's just like no i'm gonna yeah fall on the sword you know if you know if she had kids he wouldn't be going over to her house like that's something you just know wouldn't happen like you never do that i don't know if you i don't know what you guys think about that but that i've got some strong opinions about it here's the thing um that that if you dig into it is it's johnny or johnny cash saying that on one of his episodes of the johnny cash show and i went down a rabbit hole today of watching johnny cash so show clips on youtube oh

[56:02]that's fun it's a great idea for a show it's johnny cash they come out and they tell like one joke and it's just him singing like the biggest song uh song what was the era of that show it's like a picture but was it 70s 60s i think 60s maybe 70s i'm not sure yeah but here's him singing that song with joni mitchell i mean listen to that it'd have to be late 60s early 70s imagine you could turn on the tv and just watch like you just see stuff like this like it'd be mind-blowing and you know what and you know what it's kind of like here and you know what it reminded me of is when during quarantine you were watching the um they did that with the hip-hop stuff right where they'd bring people in to sing together the verses all those verses uh things yeah the verses stuff i mean that's what it was it's like that's right we need more fun programming like that we just get music right oh i just love it

[57:00]uh next up okay we have a song that aaron says great title it's called chest fever chest fever love the title yeah this is basically like they're the organ guy did a lot of their musical organizing and arranging and sort of like okay you can have a song where it's just all organ but you hear so much of like 80s like foreigner bad company you're totally right again i see the who i hear um i even hear pink floyd here like you can kind of hear where they get their sound from a little bit here yeah i hear you this is what they opened up woodstock with this is the song and they were between they were between two bands they were between 10 years after have you ever heard of them no never no and and before blood sweat and tears that'd be pretty sweet seeing the band and blood sweat and tears one two guys i'm gonna go on a limb right now and say going to woodstock would be pretty sweet i bet it was fun i think i feel like people saw some good bands there you know what i heard at the beginning of that was johan sebastian bach aaron did you hear it the

[58:01]takata and fugue d minor oh my god yeah yeah it definitely sounds like that we've talked about this the last few weeks i thought we could do a mini list today of the the best songs ever that were inspired by johan sebastian bach oh wow yeah a mini list a mini list a mini list for another have you seen that movie bach to the future where it goes hey hey uh what's his first name hey johan this is your cousin kurt yeah kurt bach kurt bach hey you know that's that fugue you've been looking for you gotta try d minor you know oh god you know what i have to say rob you'll appreciate this i didn't get this one on the list but he does have a one of the famous bach songs is something on the g string is what it's called on the g string and i never realized string came from that's right next up johan sebastian bach come on out drop your linen and quit your

[59:04]grinning johan it's time for the g string oh yeah before we get to the list i i learned something about bach that i maybe aaron knows this because he studied studied music composition but yeah in 19 or 1740 bach was struggling with his eyesight so he decided to go have a surgery to correct his vision and it went horribly wrong and left him blind and i was thinking of eye surgeries were they doing in the 1740s holy shit i didn't know that yeah that sounds awful i don't know can you even imagine like going here's like this rusty spoon that we're gonna what are we doing i don't know it's like okay so the first step you are going to be seen by the witch and then after that the surgeon is going to come in uh we're going to attach all these leeches to your eyeball oh it'd be terrible so i thought we could maybe do this a little bit differently i'm going to play you guys the box first so you can hear it and then we'll see if we can connect it to the the popular song and

[60:03]there's just a couple of them so the first is i believe it's well there better just be a couple because i heard this is a mini list it's a mini list the first one is beret and e minor by bach let's check this part out beret and e minor where's that one oh here it is right there yeah you know what people said when they heard this song russell what's that bit bit beret and bach was like are they booing me and they're like no they're saying boo ray well he definitely had to ask because he's blind after his eye surgery i'm as blind as a boo ray up here i can't see anything so i don't know if you guys make the connection there but i will say russell you know what his favorite kind of dvd was what's that a boo ray boo ray a boo ray yeah i've never owned a boo ray in my life have you guys owned a boo ray or not no i've got so many hd dvd players it'll blow your mind how many hd dvd

[61:02]that's the alternate one that blu-ray beat out i don't know if you guys will hear this one but we we've talked about this song once before uh this was led zeppelin stairway to heaven see if you can hear the similarities here so between that yeah oh yeah let me play the box slow it down and i hear it it's just a little bit slower right yeah i love it russell yeah yeah impressive i'd say this list is going back to the basics for sure well we did metallica we blackbird and penny lane by the beatles were inspired by bach we uh light light my fire and i love it i love it inspired by the doors was inspired by bach we didn't cover that one but the next one we're going to talk about is this list is getting toccata and fugue d in minor it's the same one we heard before but it's a different part of the song check this part out this one oh you guys see you know what that is when you listen to it what the song you can you hear what what current what popular song

[62:05]or what what song and pop music or rock music was that no i recognize the i recognize the song but can you imagine like you're listening to taylor swift and all of a sudden you're just her she's got this part of the song and you're like oh that taylor swift stealing from bach well if she ever actually that was about her bright bach up if she ever if she ever did break up with this guy and you'd have to go to site a of her liner notes and you would connect the evhs and it would show eddie van halen for eruption check out eruption this is inspired by bach this is where it came from oh my god so good that is awesome and i think was like a bit or van halen was a big classical music guy hello i'm a big classical music guy actually i'm big classical music well yeah because he famously doesn't he famously didn't

[63:02]listen to other guitarists right like he was like i don't listen but he did listen to bach that's awesome wow all right last song on the list uh we're gonna start with uh this one is russell those were bach to bach great examples we're going well this is a dynasty we're going bach to bach to bach spradenberg concerto number three check this one out number three ironic that is third on your list aaron you know this one or not not that well i don't listen to bach as much as i should uh mostly i just listen to the cellos sonatas now if i do well you know who did listen this was always on my mom my mom had this on cd so we definitely listened we definitely listened to this on cd in the house can you run up because my mom had that stuff you know that when bach first made this song it was like to fucking do right like this was his like sexual healing put this on he's like wait till you hear this what if they had podcasts back in the baroque period what what would what would the entrance the parody song sounded like rob oh if it would

[64:04]just be this if you back did it better is actually bad you know it's just whatever they're all the same if you listen to them well aaron might not have listened to that one a lot but you know who did is exhibit because this is the symphony and x major by exhibit check this out oh yeah no he's x major welcome to the symphony and x major by exhibit check this out the hell if bach didn't do it better with exhibit this is badass this is great oh oh no i see where this joke is going by the way oh no russell you have a sense to connect all those i don't really but i just think well russell i would say do it better i would say when you're looking at songs yeah and who they're based off of i didn't see a lot of mozart in there i didn't see much love in there i didn't see a lot of love in there i didn't see a lot of love in there i didn't see a list no huh so it makes me think you know who did it better exhibit did it better no

[65:02]johan sebastian bach did it better russell did it better that wasn't that unfortunately was not a top five list but it was a top five mini list it's like franz but he's only four feet tall that's like a top two mini list that was i would say it's a top and it's not number two you know what i'm talking about all right let's get back to music from the band the big pink is it necessary yep we have to is we're contractually obligated lonesome suzy jesus christ what do you guys think of the organs this is there's lowry organ it's a lowry organ which is like a knockoff of a hammond organ but like yeah the organ is almost too much on this right like we've heard albums before with all these different organs and uh electric pianos and it kind of works well this seems like a bit much on the organ don't you think russell this is a

[66:00]episode special are you ready for this let's hear it oh this is too much organ i've never heard that before thank you everybody thank you very much 100 episodes in which you possibly have you think you could get that back on episode one i don't think so no way yeah there's never a big organ joke on episode one this is the first one we've ever done but aaron's audio wouldn't have been good enough so the laughter wouldn't have came through wouldn't have been there yeah wouldn't have been in there i i will say there's this song sounds like it was like very speeded to slow they're like listen guys we gotta fill five minutes of this album what are we gonna do slow it down stretch it out stretch it out clearly we know which way we're all going on this do you think this are they a new york band is this there's a relationship with people at rolling stone or why do you think this is so high we gotta we gotta like we gotta it's the elephant in the room what's going on here i think it's incredibly you can see this music spilling out to music like uh it's like a virus this thing going out you just hear i think

[67:02]the arrangements you hear how it's set up it's it's this laid back kind of alternative style like this was the original alternative music right i suppose matt mentioned like pink floyd and other groups said this is very influential for him so i guess if right if bands say they like it they like it but i mean maybe it's the dylan connection i don't know i i can't plus i can't listen to it after today so i mean imagine that but imagine that you're sitting there listening to like sergeant pepper right it's coming out around now right the same time as this album so you're listening to these super popular songs and you're listening to these super popular songs and you're listening to these super popular hyper produced albums where now you're getting sound effects and a thousand instruments and everybody is like hey have you heard about this four-track recorder and then you have this band that literally is just like nope we're just going to play everything live and we're going to be doing it like just listen to the blues if you wanted to hear a simple sound or jazz with like real musicians like i mean this shit sucks brussels you made me say it out loud you just said this shit sucks this is such a bummer for a hundredth episode this

[68:01]is such a bummer i told you we should have just redone the taylor swift i thought we were gonna just roll through these last three songs and go to the rating and then you made us talk more and i can't do it anymore about this song this song is written by bob erin erin has never said a mean thing about an album in the two years we've done this and i don't want to like there are people who love this album like probably people who are listening who love this album and i don't want to like it's not who well what's my opinion i'm just a guy who listens to music sometimes if you ask somebody what's your favorite album and they said music from the big pink what would you think of that person if they said that wouldn't you just be like wait a minute come on i would want to know like what do you love about it i would want to know what is it that like that really grabs you about this album i would have regretted inviting them i would have regretted inviting them over for my house okay i mean my kids just heard what you said about the greatest album this wheels on fire this is written by dylan which when you know that and you hear it you can hear dylan so much faster and like you know i was reading gq a few

[69:02]years back put out a list of the most popular songs in the world and i was like oh my god i'm going to be on the list of the most popular songs in the world and i was like oh my god i'm going to be on the list of the most popular songs in the world and i was like oh my god i'm going to musicians ever and levon helm was listed as number 48 he wore chambray shirts rugged denim and a scratchy beard to match helm was a hidden icon even in his own band 48th and the most stylish musicians ever turns out beck was listed as number 25 from his thrift store jeans and slacker gear and his skinny nightclub suit and some mr hansen has been one of the most stylish men in rock for nearly two decades so when it comes to be a more stylish man in rock stylish musician between levon helm from the band or beck who did it better beck did it better you know who got last place in that by the way who d'angelo d'angelo he doesn't wear anything yeah those cum gutters are not gonna say ed sheeran do you guys have a guess of who the most stylish musician was the most man or male or female colins i like also i'll give you a hint

[70:04]male within the last 20 30 years of music it's got to be prince prince yeah oh uh i'm not sure answer according to gq is lenny kravitz oh i mean speaking of cum gunners that's he's got him and he you know what else he's got what's that an absolute missile down there he what do you mean he is packing meat oh my god he is like i mean he is the submarine i mean it's like i'll say also his first two albums very fun to listen to like i don't know he's probably not on this list at all maybe he is i don't know but his stuff is fun to listen to we gave you a chance to talk about music okay now this is the part of the podcast where i talk about a famous guy's penis lenny kravitz has a famous clip it's true if aaron starts saying this music is shitty or whatever then aaron rob's allowed to do what he wants lenny kravitz one of the most famous

[71:01]i don't want to be negative is that lenny kravitz was doing a concert where he jumped up and did the splits and his pants just exploded just wide open and out from the depths of lenny kravitz's crotch with the heat of a thousand suns comes out this mohadeeb the sandworm the birth of everything and you just look at it and you're like i've heard of lisa bonet but whoa it look up the clip guys i mean he's a professional snake trainer like when that's why there's that clip of lenny kravitz getting turned on and he immediately passes out because there's just not enough blood in a human body this is what are you talking about you've watched a lot of lenny kravitz videos rob what if he had the same issue that liam neeson had like imagine how far down his jeans he would be peeing if i'm telling you again

[72:03]if i was smoking like that the cubans i would be peeing my pants all the time it's so low down i got multiple texts to the becks line of just pictures of liam's pee pants and i was like yeah i told you about it this is your number one place for guys huge dongs news i think this is guys i think you know what i was complaining episode i was complaining the theme song we don't have any new bits this is the new bits celebrity big dongs yeah and here are my rules about celebrity big dongs they don't actually have to be big dogs they can just be nearby a big dong how many rules are there well you know i i'm on the list but it's a mini list so it's a little bit different i shall be released i shall be released another dylan song sounds like the bgs to me that's something i stole like that's such a crazy connection you would say that because this is on nina simone's album that also includes covers of the bgs song to love somebody oh i don't know that's why you come up with that so dylan recorded this song

[73:02]this is original to them or who's the original dylan this is a dylan song but he recorded it separately later and rolling stone said it was the sixth best dylan song ever which is insane that would make that take that that's the sixth best dylan song you gotta be kidding me this is our whole podcast it's built around that magazine it's a great song you think that's the sixth best song erin i mean i'm not really into ranking music rob erin i got bad news for you because next up is the rating system rating system oh well matt for this matt we are talking about the band oh no the band

[74:01]oh them no yes all right going to prog rock tonight great you know the the house band the house music band back in my day we had bob hope johnny cash oh and mozart and now we've got no hope no cash and i'm on a mini list it's terrible all right so listen up we are talking about music from the big pink by the band okay who knows how we're going to rank this album nobody knows okay a great album for our hundredth episode special okay very excited we're hopped up we've got the most energy yeah let's go yeah is this album a rolling well toned it's perfect at a hundred a cent is called a cent because it makes a hundred of them to make a dollar is this the perfect dollar album is this the hundredth graded album one zero zero i mean a century of albums and we're to this and to think that by rolling stone standards every album is going to

[75:04]be worse after this so so i'm going to think about uh with how we're spending our time actually is this perfect at 100 that is a rolling well toned is this not very good we didn't like it that is a rolling groan or do we think this album is actually really really good and it should be higher up okay and we should have listened to the songs more actually and probably a lot slower to really get into it and listen to it what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan russell what do you think you know what i'm going to do is i'm going to i i didn't hate this album we were kind of ragging on it the whole time i thought there's some interesting stuff some interesting inspiration we have inspiration from classical music i like that lowry organ i wish there was a handful of the organ songs instead of the whole thing being overtaken by that lowry so for me uh i i don't think i'll go back and listen to it too many times i'm going to say it's rolling groan matt what do you think rolling well toned rolling

[76:03]bone or rolling groan i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know think this album is on here uh because of the association with dylan and then because of uh the weight the song the weight and great song you know yeah great song so you know after that i'm not sure why it's on here so i'm gonna say it's rolling uh rolling groans definitely not being the top 100 uh it feels like there's a lot that comes out of here i mean i just i i hadn't put two and two together but i shall be released i mean it's covered by hundreds of people and i'm looking at wikipedia and it's just it's nuts the number of people that have covered that song so i know i've heard it somewhere somebody i don't know jack johnson sings it or somebody new but um you know so there's some there's some songs that made and there's some um some parts of the album that i think that you're talking about rob that made it into the public lexicon and then just you could see the webs going out uh but for all intents and purposes

[77:00]i mean the album itself is is rolling rolling well grown rolling groaned rolling yeah we'll find it keep going yeah i'm trying to think of it's not just rolling groaned it's rolling well groaned which means it should maybe just not even be on the list i don't know rolling groaned to be lower on the list i think we need to do a list investigation unit on this to really talk about it more stay after the episode if you want to hear us talk about what rolling well groaned would mean on the list aaron what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan yeah uh i didn't enjoy listening this album except for the weight uh perhaps and uh it's uh you know just let it rip aaron say what you want to say people doubt i mean i don't want to be negative but when this when this happens i always want to pick out a band and that should have been on way to call or ask like why hasn't queen been on you know i think like no funkadelic

[78:00]no parliament no earth, wind, and fire no ohio players is this album better than pearl jam 10 and now i'm sucking up to matt no fucking way pearl jam 10 is a thousand times better than this album so for me rolling groan get it off of the list get it out of my life except for the weight i never want to hear it again rolling groan unfortunately you guys are incorrect again this is for 100 albums plus guys this is rolling 20 percent don't okay we are officially 20 percent don't with this list don't we only have 400 albums left wow at this rate that's 200 nights of recording that's almost a year straight if we did this for a year straight we could get this done we could knock this out in like nine months if we recorded every day two double episodes so something to think about it's good time i might have to take up matt's drinking style if that's what we're in the way we're going to continue man here next matt russell russell why don't you come over just come over to my house we'll record over my house just come on over to my house yeah russell he made

[79:03]homemade cake it's gonna be great you'll love it okay uh listen next up we have a band that never hit number one on the billboard top 100 and only has one recorded tv appearance ever interesting it's led to zeppelin by led zeppelin one tv appearance that's it that's why you don't see videos of them they had that movie they made the song remains the same but led zeppelin guys who chat and then they get off track i gotta get one here i've got the perfect i got the perfect podcast for you jack back did it are we gonna make it to 500 guys you guys know we've listened to a lot of albums over the last few weeks and months about old flames and i actually went out on a third date with a girl that i hadn't told you about in a while and i sat down and i asked her if she wanted a drink and she said mother earth has been pregnant for the third time thank god she didn't invite me over to her house i would have never wanted to hang out with those
